Respiratory syncytial virus and neutrophil activation

Neutrophil Degranulation and Chemokine Respiratory Syncytial Virus Stimulates

Bovine respiratory syncytial virus.

Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) is a major cause of respiratory disease and a major contributor to the bovine respiratory disease (BRD) complex. BRSV infects the upper and lower respiratory tract and is shed in nasal secretions. The close relatedness of BRSV to human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) has allowed researchers to use BRSV and HRSV to elucidate the mechanisms by which th...

Respiratory syncytial virus vaccines.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most important cause of viral lower respiratory tract illness (LRI) in infants and children worldwide and causes significant LRI in the elderly and in immunocompromised patients. The goal of RSV vaccination is to prevent serious RSV-associated LRI. There are several obstacles to the development of successful RSV vaccines, including the need to immunize v...

Bovine respiratory syncytial virus.

The current knowledge is reviewed in regards to the importance of bovine respiratory syncytial virus in the bovine respiratory disease complex. The epidemiology, clinical disease, pathologic findings, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of this viral disease are discussed.

Respiratory syncytial virus infections.

RS virus was isolated from 10 5% of the specimens examined in the MRC/PHLS hospital survey and from 0 9% of those in the general practice survey. The highest isolation rates were in infants with lower respiratory tract infections. Dyspnoea, wheezing and cough were the predominant clinical features. The differences in the rates between hospital and general practice and newer methods of diagnosis...
